Before the Lionesses v Switzerland match - kick off 7:45pm - we will protest the FA allowing men pretending to be women, to play in women’s football teams
Assembly point outside the ground but exact location TBC closer to the day
Bring placards and yourselves. We need to make sure that girls and women arent banned from their own game by bullying men.
Social at 7:45pm onwards after the protest - venue TBC
Research on how male inclusion in women and girls sports is harmful and unfair
Women have came together to protest the injustice faced by women and girls in sports, where not only our ability to play on a level field is impeded, but our safety is put at risk. In particular, we are outraged by the injustice of a 6 match ban imposed on a girl with suspected autism - for the crime of asking a man, "Are you a man?"
Is it fair to ban a player for 6 matches for telling the truth?
The Football Association recently held a disciplinary hearing for a 17 year old girl, because she questioned if a 6” man with a beard - playing on the opposing team - was a man.
The young girl spoke to the referee at half time about her “concern for [my] safety after suffering a number of overly physical challenges” already in the game.
She was reported by the opposing team to Kick It Out, who referred it to the FA but did not invite the young woman to give her side. The FA convened a National Serious Case Panel who found her guilty of ‘discrimination’ and gave her a 6-match ban.
It is already insulting that men take women’s places in sports and put them in danger on the field and in the changing rooms.
Do you think it is fair to punish a woman for daring to question if a man….is a man?
